Jars of Renewal: Prickly Pear Syrup
I promise this is my last prickly pear post for a bit. I used the remaining prickly pear tunas last night for the latest Jars of Renewal project: syrup! Great in margaritas, other mixed drinks and even on pancakes. Yum.
To local gardeners, a reminder that tomorrow’s veggie class series at the Phoenix Farmer’s Market is worth the drive and $10. I’m thinking a big bowl of oatmeal at Matt’s beforehand is just what the happy hippie ordered.
Happy Friday friends!

Oh that syrup looks delicious and would have multiple uses. Great idea! I love the color the pp make — really pretty. I have enjoyed your posts on this subject and hope I come across some prickly pears up this way. A customer used to bring them to me from her garden when I had the eatery at Stanford.

Pass the tequila!
September 12th, 2008 at 7:47 amOh my goodness, what a gorgeous color! Reminds me of making crabapple jelly. The pink shirt is very nicely coordinated as well.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:17 amI really need to think of something to can. I have a whole tree full of asian pears no one likes. Maybe asian pear jam would be good
OMG. I would LOVE that syrup. Margaritas? Pancakes? Two of my faves!
September 12th, 2008 at 8:41 amYum! Love the Voss bottle. I too appreciate the pink shirt. Looks like it was dyed with the p. pears!

looks good!
September 12th, 2008 at 11:12 amI’m craving a Shirley Temple right about now! I’m such a wild thing.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:28 pmIt looks like you dyed the shirt with it, too. Very nice.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:09 pmYUM!!! Looks sooooooo good. Now I really have to find me some prickley pears!!
September 16th, 2008 at 7:41 pm[…] And, I also enjoyed my first prickly pear rita. It was pretty good, I must say. (It was quite strong too. They must have used some darn good tequila!) But, I’ll give my official prickly pear rita review after I’ve had one with Ms. Kelli’s syrup. Speaking of which, when I see a prickly pear cactus now (including the one in my neighbor’s front yard whose tunas are way overripe), I think “Where’s Kelli to the rescue?“ […]
